<p>A build-your-own-burger joint with roots in Asheville is scheduled to open a location in Hendersonville next month. </p><p>After spending 10 years living in Asheville and a brief stint along the coast, Jessica Bowers has returned to Western North Carolina to open the second location of her family's business, Burgerworx. </p><p>“I wanted to live in a smaller town outside of Asheville,” she said.</p><p>A partner in the family-owned Asheville business, Bowers owns the new Burgerworx tentatively set to open Sept. 19 in the Harris Teeter shopping center at 638 Spartanburg Highway. </p><p>“It's counter service, build-your-own-burger concept,” she said, adding that her sister, Carole Bowers, originally came up with the winning business recipe for Asheville. </p><p>Bowers said Burgerworx' 30 toppings — including cherry pepper relish, chipotle ketchup, and sriracha mayo – set its burgers apart from others, as do the fresh-cut fries, deep-fried hotdogs and decadent milkshakes. </p><p>“We make the chili here from scratch,” she added. </p><p>For those wanting to eat on the lighter side, Bowers said Burgerworx offers whole wheat buns, veggie burgers and chicken breasts, which come with all the same topping options.</p><p>Open for lunch and dinner, the 1,000-square-foot space will seat about 30 customers inside and an additional 30 on an outside patio.</p><p>Bowers said she's working to make the new Burgerworx Hendersonville-specific, just as the Asheville location is decorated in local art.</p><p>Though she's still adding art to the restaurant, Bowers is happy with two original Hendersonville street signs she found at ScreenDoor antiques in Asheville, which add some flair to the walls.</p><p>“Construction is about done,” Bowers said Monday. “It's looking pretty good.”</p><p>Once open, the Hendersonville location's hours will be from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
